B.  Background Summary:
-----------------------

Sgt. Kingston was born on June 4, 1971 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. 
Upon graduation from Avon Point High School in 1989, he enlisted in 
the United States Army, serving as an infantryman with the 4th
Battalion, 105th Armored Infantry Regiment, 114th Infantry Division
(Hvy Mech.). His unit was deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1990 as
part of the War in the Gulf. Then Specialist Kingston and his Bradley
team successfully covered the insertion of several infantry companies
in the ground assault, earning him an Army Commendation Medal with
"V" device and Valorous Unit Citation. After the War, SPC Kingston
returned to his unit in Munich, Germany. Because of his actions as
well as the actions of the 114th Division, the Division was given the
nickname "Desert Thunder."

In late 1995, The "Desert Thunder" Division was again called to the
Persian Gulf. This time, Khan Noonien Singh had taken power in the
Sinai Region and part of the Islamic nations that broke away from
the former Soviet Union. By this time SPC Kingston was promoted to 
Sergeant, and again, SGT Kingston had led his Bradley team into the
heart of the Sinai Desert, expelling Singh's fanatics from the
region. During the withdrawal, the convoy that Sgt. Kingston's team
was escorting was attacked by partisans loyal to Singh's cause. His
crew was successful in rescuing the convoy and repelling the partisan
armored vehicles. For this action, Sgt. Kingston was awarded the
Bronze Star with "V" device. This defense had a terrible price for
Michael. His brother was in one of the Bradleys next to Michael's.
Gregory's Bradley was destroyed during the firefight, killing all on
board. Michael still has the U.S. Flag and the Medal of Honor that
was awarded posthumously to his brother.

SGT Kingston was then reassigned to the United Nations Vessel 
NORMANDY as part of a Joint Task Force in pursuit of the SS Botany 
Bay, which was captured by Khan Singh. However, the Normandy
suffered an accident (sabotage?) which took the ship off the
trajectory that the Botany Bay was on. The entire crew of the UNV
NORMANDY went into a cryogenic sleep for survival, hoping that they
would be rescued with in a few months.  However, rescue didn't come
until 
2406 by the USS TALLAHASSEE. Out of a crew of 450 on the Normandy,
only 6, 
including Sgt. Kingston's, were still functioning. Apparently, a
power surge
after the accident blew most of the cryogenic circuits.

After a year of catch-up learning at the Academy, Michael decided 
to return to military service by accepting a promotion
(appointment?) to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, Starfleet Marine
Corps and served aboard the USS NORFOLK as the 2nd Platoon
Sergeant/Armory NCOIC. After his tour on the NORFOLK, he applied for
the Starfleet Officer Candidate Course at McKinley Station on Earth.
He was accepted and excelled in his class. Because of his prior
combat leadership and experience, Michael was commissioned as a
Lieutenant Major and assigned to the USS PROMETHEUS as Executive
Officer, 4th Battalion, 105th Marine Expeditionary Force, where he
spent a year; transferring to SB ALIGHERI to assume duties as XO, 1st
Batallion, 135th Marines on Camp Necessity for 2 years before his
retirement in 2412.

The retirement was short-lived, as he was recalled to Active Status
and further assigned to USS FEARLESS as the Marine Detachment CO.

VII.  Psychological Profile
---------------------------

Being awakened after 410 years of cryogenic sleep can have an 
effect on a person. Michael is no exception to that rule. He's had
some difficulty getting used to the fact that it's now the 25th
century instead of the 20th. Sometimes he does run his mouth a bit
and speak his mind, but fortunately that never got him in trouble;
for on numerous 
occasions, speaking his mind averted major disasters in Desert 
Storm and the Eugenics Wars. He can slip into the 20th century
vernacular, and he'll have to explain to someone born in the late
24th century what that
means. Even though he's qualified with both the hand phaser and
phaser rifle, Michael feels very comfortable with an M9 9mm pistol
and an M16 rifle.

If he feels homesick for the 20th century, Michael has 2 holodeck
programs that he created. One recreates a pistol and rifle range,
based on the ranges on one of the various posts that he served on 
while he was in the Army. The other is a recreation of an urban 
assault range, where he and two others have to secure a building 
(the holodeck safeties are on so the program will freeze before a bullet 
hits anyone who is using the program.)

VIII.  Current Recreational Interests
-------------------------------------

Off Duty, LMAJ Kingston enjoys playing several rounds of golf.
Technology of the 24th and 25th Centuries have enabled him to learn
the game from the great Terran masters such as Arnold Palmer, Jack
Nickalaus and Tiger Woods.
